BRISBANE, Australia – Happy New Year!
The 2025 season has officially been going on since last Friday. But today it’s official.
Djokovic and Kyrgios are back in action in doubles on Wednesday, on in the late afternoon on Pat Rafter Arena against the No. 1 seeds.
Neither is scheduled for singles on Wednesday, but that’s the last leeway they have in the one-week schedule – assuming a run from Djokovic, as Kyrgios was narrowly eliminated on Tuesday.
(Brisbane is 15 hours ahead of ET; Hong Kong is 13 hours ahead).
